GlyphGryph posted:London != Britain. That would be like saying American food is good because New York is in the top 10. You can find terrible processed junk food pretty much everywhere, the lowest common denominator is not a good metric for judging a country. If you went to New York and ate nothing but McDonalds, it wouldn't be fair to say that the food in the US sucks. e: Missed the edit from teen witch

teen witch posted:10 USD to a local charity with time stamped proof not a joke this is always a lovely derail This actually reminded me I'd been meaning to set up a recurring monthly donation for my local food charity, so thanks for that even if I have no particular interest in continuing the derail. And apparently I will be donating monthly forever because Paypal went screwy and has no record of it being set up, but it definitely got pulled from my bank account, so I don't think I can shut it down at this point.

I assume in cases like this, personal charm and manipulation skills are doing the heavy lifting. Charisma is hard to describe in words but incredibly compelling when you encounter it, and the manipulation it opens you up to is not something you register. I was briefly involved with a narcissist, and he was very charismatic before you got to really know him. He had (apparent) depth, enthusiasm, and drive that were all easy to get swept up in before you realize that he is also a black hole for attention and personal validation with minimal interest in the well being of other people in his life, despite superficially feigning otherwise. How much you are deceived by the feigning is I suppose a big part of how much you become trapped. Seems like she still buys it somehow.

If someone genuinely has a problem with glutamates, then they'd have similar experiences with eating Italian, too. I think if MSG was known in English by its correct name, Perfect Taste, we wouldn't have this issue.

Charisma is hard to describe in words but incredibly compelling when you encounter it, and the manipulation it opens you up to is not something you register. right, a friend of my partner was with a guy just like this. charming, personable, handsome, probably great in bed, real fun to hang out with. its just that eventually you realize he's a lazy piece of poo poo addict who starts drinking the moment he rolls out of bed he was brought over to our place for dinner some yeas ago, a "check out this guy i started dating" situation. i was the only other guy there and he seemed nice enough, but i got weird vibes off him because you couldn't tell a story or relate on any level without him also having done that thing, but better. as the only other guy present, he seemed focused on 'winning' over me, being the better man. as my partner had to talk the friend through the low points in her relationship with this guy, it dawned on my partner as well that this dude was actually pretty awful if you weren't in the room with him and just looked at his actions in a vacuum a couple years and a child later, it is now obvious to everyone that his refusal to get a job or grow up is not some fun free spirit quirk, he just sucks as a person. luckily the friend has adapted very well to single motherhood, stepped up and become a very competent adult, and the lovely guy hosed off somewhere. he got really hurt in their last interaction because he said he was going across the country to be with his ex after her divorce - clearly he was fishing for some kind of "please don't go, your kid needs you" kind of resistance. friend was like ok, bye, don't call me when you land, i dont care what you're up to. dude was like, what if you need to find me for child support? friend just laughed and said she'd never, ever bother pursuing him for child support because what wages does he have to garnish? no, go live your life, i will raise your son and we will be fine without you. apparently he was pretty wounded by being written off that hard but he hosed off and nobody cares where he went

On the other hand it's probably a weird socialization if you're that charismatic. First teachers and parents all give you the benefit of the doubt. Your friends act like you're the coolest thing ever. Later on at least some men and/or women will stay with you even if you cheat on them. Not saying that you can't be a kind, considerate person if you have any charisma that makes others like you. But I'm not sure all of it is sociopathic put-on behaviour as opposed to just never experiencing consequences. e: I'm reminded of this Netflix piece on a gangster from the former USSR operating in Florida. One of the people interviewed said something along these lines: "He used to convince rich folk in legal to sign over their yachts to him so that the IRS and courts didn't seize them. Of course he would just turn around and sell the goods. When the marks figured out what was happening they'd corner him. But by the time they had sat down together for five minutes he was selling them another boat." Bright Bart fucked around with this message at 16:43 on Apr 19, 2021 |

Dear Annie: I’ve fallen for a man who lives in Nigeria and worry he’s just a scammerquote:Dear Annie: I have let myself get involved with a significantly younger guy. To make matters worse, I’m married. In my defense, before I even started talking to this other guy, my husband and I had come to a place in our marriage where we were more like roommates than husband and wife. We didn’t even share the same bedroom (which was his decision). He never showed me affection of any kind. We spoke to each other, but that was it.

AITA for clearing out all the food in the house and not replenishing it because my sister has an eating disorder?quote:I love my sister, but she eats everything in sight the moment she finds it. I have a lock on my door and have gotten a small fridge. I keep fruit and water in there, some snacks, and then I will go to my boyfriend's to eat. My sister is unemployed at the moment and my parents bring her meals (about 1200 calories per meal) and she will scarf it down. If they leave something for me, she eats that as well.

Pope Corky the IX posted:I literally burst out laughing at "false positive" I'm sure it's not involved in this case, but fairly recently prosecutors had to clear over 20,000 convictions because the lab tech would always find drugs in the sample, no matter what. Another incident led to a number of exonerations when it was discovered, although that's probably not much of a comfort to the people executed as a result of her tampering. In both cases prosecutors fought tooth and nail to keep from doing anything until forced to by the courts.

AITA for bringing out regular bread when a pregnant woman ordered garlic free garlic bread? quote:I'm a waitress at a restaurant. Earlier, a pregnant woman came in with her husband. When I went to get their orders, the woman asked for "garlic free garlic bread." I advised her that our garlic bread was just our regular bread with garlic butter instead of regular butter and asked her to clarify if she just wanted regular bread. But she insisted no, she wanted our garlic bread, just without garlic. I let her know she could just order regular bread and it would be a dollar less, but she insisted she had a huge craving for garlic bread without the garlic. I wasn't really sure what to do, but her husband got angry and said something like "Can't you see that she's pregnant? It's not that hard to just bring out garlic bread without garlic."

Both daughters are around the same age (think mid-twenties). My daughter Allie has never gotten along with her stepsister Johanna. If Johanna invited Allie to a movie, Allie was suddenly super busy and had no time. If Johanna wanted to come with Allie to a party, Johanna wasn't invited and there was no way she could bring her. She'd rip up Joanna's things and would blame Johanna when she'd be grounded.
